The Pastors Of the Several Churches Refer
to the Election.
The address Ofthe PrOhibltionists to the
pastors of the various city churches, in
which they were requested to call the at
tentiou of their congregations to the APP
preaching election, and refer to the import
ance of casting ballots for unobiectiOnable
candidates, whenever practicable, called
forth a number of references to the matter
from the pulpits yesterday.
Rev. ]. C.. Hull, of the Chapline street
NJ. T.. church, in q sermon on the text,
Thou shalt not follow multitude To do
evil, " said
IF the statement of our Mayor is true,
there are two hundred houses of prostitu-
ton i'm this city, and there are one hundred
and thirty saloons. Aud yet, before an
other Sunday, men, that call themselves
Christians, will cast ballots that cannot he
distinguished from those east by the pro-
prietors and patrons of these places. And
your guardian-angel, if he hasn't already
left YOU, will turn away his iace and say
Shame" And the devil will laugh at your
idea, that the other party is worse than
YOURS. He votes on both sides and don't
care which wins ~
There promises to be q very lusty fight
for the position of City Health officer and
already some five or six candidates have
SHE'D their eaStOrs in the ring and are
humping things in aquiet sort of way. A
majority of the candidates are Republicans
and they are working for
the election of their supporters Tor COun-
ell. Never before in this city, probably,
has the position been more vigorously
sought after.
The Prohibitionists intend having their
tickets printed, headed by J. NJ. ClOust0n
for Mayor, and Joseph Jackson for City
Sergeant. Then the names of nominees ct
both parties for Council follow, the Repub-
lic;lns being printed first in plain type and
the Democrats following in Italic. They
also intend sending circulars out to voters
asking their assistance.
The Republicans have about abandoned
all hope of even capturing one Branch of
Council. They did entertain the idea that
they might hold on to the First Branch,
but that hope has fled. The Democratic
majority will be about seven on joint bal
lot.
The Democratic candidate for Mayor,
Hon. C. w. Seabright, is making hosts OF
friends on every side His canvas has de-
veloped the fact that he is general favor
lite among all classes OF citizens. He will
make good Mayor.
The Democratic voters are rapidly solid
flying under the abuse and ridicnle which
is being heaped upon some OF the party's
candidates.

"rhe Commercial Tourists Bride"

1.-THE Commercial Tourists Bride"
Miss Agnes Herndon and her splendid
company will appear in this popular play
at the Opera House this evening. The
performance will be ofpeculiar interest TO
travelling men, and it would he in keeping
with the eternal fitness of things if the
Travellers Protective Association would
attend in n body, headed by their officers.
The New York WorH says of the play:
Miss Agnes IIerndon's new play, 1.-THE
Commercial Tourists Bride" has made an
immediate and pronounced hit. The sue
cess of the play lies in its being comedy of
the greatest enjoyment, and comedy that
is not miSCalled. There is remarkable
absence of horse play, and its place is ii led
by intelligent acting and mirth-prOvoking
sense. Messrs. Frederick Hale aud IL. s.
Hewitt. the authors of ITS English You
Know" have presented q bank cashier, Il
New York drummer, y Chinaman, an Eng
lish girl, the cashiers wife, and a sister
in-law, in such variety of bcwildering
fun, that no family can afford 10 be with
out it. Miss lIcrndon is The CONNER
cal Tourists Bride" and more charming
impersonatiUn cannot we'll he imagined.

The Thistle I'm America.

HER DESIGNER, FOR ONCE AND ALI, GIVES TIE kkA-
SONS FOR HER DEFEAT.
From the London Field
SIR: In last Saturdays Field Mr.. J. v. Webb
conveys the impression that, while Sir Richard
sutton and Lieut. Hem acknowledged at once
"they did not win because the American boat was
TOO fast,' those connected with the Thistle were
not equally candid, and seem to think they should
be held responsible for those complaints, ex-
cuses, &c, which have been made about the
lhlstle races Now, whatever complaints ana
excuses nave been made-and there nave certainly
Deen more tnan enough-no one OF these mas
eInanated from any one connected with the Ihlstle
for inysell let me say here once ana for all that
am perfectly satisfied Volunteer is the faster boat
on the crucial point OF sailing. viz, turning 10
Wlndward Running and reaching / can say
can as the Two boats, when on these points OF
sailing, were much too far apart for any correct
estimate or the speed to be made The races were
conducted with perfect fairness; and, though the
steamers bothered us very much the first day,
feel certain, mad the American boat been In the
same position, they would, In their eagerneSs 10
keep the leader In sight, have done just the same
10 ner. L 1ndOrse what Mr.. Webb says OF the
sportsmanlike feelings of American yachtsmen,
esl ana most hospitable brotherhood In nation
Wnlch Is proverbial for hospitality.
IN conclusion, would express my very great re-
greI mat, from the prohibit1ve terms OF the new
deeu OF gilt, the VOlunteer-Thistle races seem
ikey 10 De the last OF series OF most interesting
conteStS-cOnteStS which, while encouraging the
sport OF yachting, have done even more to cement

Battle with "A Fierce stag.

Parkersburg special TO the Baltimore american
to-day says: Randolph County, day or two ago.
was the scene OF terrific fight between a deer
two men and a dog, In which the deer killed the
dog, badly wounded one OF the men. and gored
a young steer so badly that 1t had to be killed.
Elisha Mcleod and Capt. wormsley, sheep
grazers, came upon the deer while collect
ing their nOckS The animal an Immense
stag, sleek, fat and full-grown, was quietly
browsing with some cattle on the hillside
Neither OF the farmers had gun, and were too far
from home 10 run the risk OF going TO get one
While thinking what TO do, a shepherd dog that
accompanied the farmers gave chase 20 the deer
and brought ft 10 bay after about half miles
When the farmers came up the dog and deer were
engaged In fight. The deer was bleeding at sew
eral parts, where the dog had bitten it. while the
dog had deep wound in the side, made by the
horns or the deer Seeing the men approaching,
the deer started toward them, tossing his head
In rage. Elisha Mcleod was in his track
and was gored In the side. Before the animal
could attack Wormsley, the dog had bitten
him In the flank, which brought him to the ground.
In a minute the deer was up, and, darling at the
dog, buried his horns in his body and tossed him
some distance. BY this time the men had clubs,
and one OF Jnem felled the stag TO the ground,
when II made a second attack badly wounding
him They then went for gun, and to attend to
the wound OF Mcleod, who was bleeding profuSely.
When Wormsley returned he found that the deer
had attacked twO-year-old steer and gored IL so
that IL had TO be killed. One shot ended the life
OF the stag which was one OF the largest seen for
years

An Aged Miserss Plight.
FREEZING AND STARVING IN HOvRL WITH $4,000


dispatch from Allentown, Pa, says q singu-
lar case OF miserlness came to light there yester
day and was Investigated by the police upon being
reported to the mayor. For many years John
Losch, an aged citizen, had been a resident OF 728
Lawrence street, In q small house surrounded by
two others-One occupied by his sisters and the
Other by John l. Meyer, a carpet weaver. Mr..
LOSch, by the most rigid economy and by exerciS-
Ing m1SerlfneSS that estranged nearly every
other person from him, amaSsed a handsome
sum, which ne Invested In unimprOved real estate.
The property has increased In value, until Mr..
and $4,000. Since the death OF his wife Mr..
LoSch has been leading a more rigorous life, and
almost shut himself up from contact with others
Yesterday afternoon Mr.. Meyers attention was
called 10 his neighbOr by his hearing the old man
screams and cries. Meyer went in and was hor-
rned at the spectacle which greeted his eyes. The
house was not MT for human habitatiOn. Leaks
until the walls were black and gloomy. The
floor was covered with ashes, coal
and Nth. The furniture, bed,
stove, Chair and closet was OF the most dilapi-
dated description. Mr. Losch was seated near
tne nreleSs stove. He was nearly starved and
frozen 10 death. Being eighty-sx years old, and
alone In the house, he was nearly helpless. Pal
ton was pitiable In the extreme. His daughter
went TO philadelphia two weeks ago, leaving the
OLD man alone with nothing 10 eat but some beans
and apple-butter. Upon this he subsisted until
MI. Meyer got him a loaf OF bread. The mayor,
AFTER the investigation by the officers has decided
TO report the matter to the children, who are three
wen-t0-do and prosperous business men and two
fusing to care for LOsch the health officer will take
charge OF the case.
